I'm having issues with irregular periods and I'm also dealing with a thyroid problem. Can you give me some advice on how to manage both of these together? It's been really frustrating and I'm not sure where to start.

View allJust found out I have hypothyroidism with normal T3 and T4 but TSH at 24. My doctor started me on thyroxine 100mcg. I need to get a dental surgery done with local anesthesia soon should I wait until my TSH levels are normal or can I go ahead with the procedure now?
It's generally recommended to wait for TSH levels to normalize before undergoing dental procedures with local anesthesia, as hypothyroidism can affect the body's response to anesthesia and other drugs. Waiting for TSH levels to normalize allows the thyroid hormone levels to stabilize and improves the overall management of the condition

I just found out that my HbA1c level is 5.8 and my average blood glucose is at 120 mgdL. Should I be concerned about this result other than just managing my diet and exercise? I'd appreciate any advice!
With an HbA1c of 5.8% and average blood glucose of 120 mgdl, you're considered prediabetic. _Prediabetes Indicators_ 1. _HbA1c_: 5.8% is above the normal range ( 5.6%). 2. _Average Blood Glucose_: 120 mgdl is slightly above the normal range ( 100 mgdl). _Health Risks_ 1. _Type 2 Diabetes_: Prediabetes increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 2. _Cardiovascular Disease_: Elevated blood glucose levels can increase cardiovascular risk. _Action Plan_ 1. _Dietary Changes_: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. 2. _Regular Exercise_: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise, or a combination of both, per week. 3. _Weight Management_: If you're overweight or obese, aim for a sustainable weight loss of 0.5-1 kg per week. 4. _Monitoring_: Regularly track your blood glucose levels, HbA1c, and lipid profiles to monitor progress. 5. _Consult a Healthcare Professional_: Discuss your results with your doctor or a registered dietitian to create a personalized plan.
